Keyboard Keycap Dimensions

The “units” of a keycap refer to a comparison between a one “unit” standard key. This is such that a 2u key will be two units of a 1u key.

Changing Modes/Layers Standard Layer In this layer, you have preset configurations for the buttons to be pressed which you can see in the manual above.

The default on this layer is the following: Spectral Cycle, GK96XS-1, Spectral Cycle, Windmill and Rainbow Waves Driver Layer (FN + 5): Q light will light up when this mode is selected. Driver mode layer only works when the keyboard is connected wired, and allows you to modify the backlight colours in real-time. You can assign larger macros while connected through a cable vs storing it on-board. Layer 1: Onboard memory layer, The “5” key will light up when this mode is selected. This layer will work without having to be connected wired, but you’re limited to what lighting you saved onboard (similar to the “standard layer”). Layer 2: Onboard memory layer, The “6” key will light up when this mode is selected. MacOS layer. This layer is the same as Layer 1 and 3, but by default has the keys rebinded to match a MacOS keyboard and the Backspace key will be binded to delete. This can be changed in the driver. Layer 3: Onboard memory layer, The “7” key will light up when this mode is selected. This layer will work without having to be connected wired, but you’re limited to what lighting you saved onboard (similar to the “standard layer”).

MacOS Alternative and Linux Download (GUI): https://github.com/pixeltris/GK6X In order for the keyboard to interface with the software, you’re going to need to have the keyboard in wired mode if you want to change the driver layer. Make sure you are using the cable that came with the keyboard, the keyboard can only communicate with the software via USB-A to USB-C. If you’re using MacOS, you can use a dongle to overcome this.

1. Head to https://www.mono-project.com/download/stable/ to download Mono, which is required for running the Mac version.

Software Tutorials This section will show you how to use your GK96S/SK96S for changing colours, macros and binds. In order for your keyboard to be detected by the software, it needs to be connected with the given USB-A to USB-C cable that came with the keyboard. Direct USB-C to USB-C connections will NOT work.

Lighting Section This section was created for how to adjust the different lighting, create them and add them to onboard memory. It will also teach you how to upload and download the lighting effects so you can share them with your friends.

Creating an Lighting (.LE) Files I am going to show you how to create a lighting file that you can use, share with other users. You can use these lighting effects on either the onboard memory of your Epomaker, or by using it in driver mode.

1. Launch the software with the keyboard connected in wired mode. The keyboard must use the cable given, or a USB-C to USB-A cable. The USB-A connection gives the ability for the driver to interface and detect the software. You can use a dongle to connect your keyboard to a USB-C connection on a Mac.

2. Launch the software and select “LE Files”, this is the section for creating lighting files.

We will go back to the “Configuration” Section later when we want to apply the lighting.

26


3. Click the “+” Button to add a lighting effect to the LE File Management Module. 4. Enter the name that you want to call the lighting profile that you want to create.

5. Click the Edit icon on the given lighting effect name you just made to start editing the

RBG and effect. You should be welcomed by the editor. Here you can add a lighting option by clicking the “+” Button, or delete using the trash can.

Clicking the “+” Button in the Effects section will result in the following options:

- Monochrome, which is a static colour. - RGB, which is for a colour shift - Breathing, for the lights to turn on and off.

27


6. Select a setting and then change the colour using the colour wheel. Select the keys on

the keyboard you want the colour to use, or select from the buttons All, Top Bar, Bottom, Fifth Line. Them press the Effect to confirm the location you want the colour on. Make sure you do it in that order. In this case, I will make my keyboard a lavender purple and I want it to cover all the buttons. So I make my colour selection by pressing the effect, Press the “All” Keys, and then press the Monochrome effect again.

7. Click the tick icon near the colour wheel to confirm what colour settings you want.

28


8. Go back to the configurations tab, and then select your LE File you created. 9. Click View, then Apply and Save.

Edit Driver Layer Colours The driver layer will only work when the device is in wired mode, so in order to edit the colours in the driver layer you can’t use bluetooth.

1. Launch the software with the keyboard connected in wired mode. The keyboard must use the cable given, or a USB-C to USB-A cable. The USB-A connection gives the driver to detect the software. You can use a dongle to connect your keyboard to a USB-A connection on a Mac.

29


2. Click Driver 1 from the layers you can see above to access the Driver layer.

3. Click the side panel above, you will see different lighting effect options which you can

press. Press any or create your own. You can see how to do this in “Creating a Lighting (.LE) File” above.

4. Click View, Apply and Save.

Add Onboard Lighting Effects We’re going to be adjusting the on-board lighting effects. You can access these effects by using FN + “+” Until you reach the effect you created.

1. Launch the software with the keyboard connected in wired mode. The keyboard must use the cable given, or a USB-C to USB-A cable. The USB-A connection gives the ability for the driver to interface and detect the software. You can use a dongle to connect your keyboard to a USB-C connection on a Mac.

30


1. When the software is installed, please launch it and press the “Standard Layer”.

2. Press on any of the Lighting effects you would like to change and select the

lighting profile you would like to add.

31


3. Click confirm to put that specific lighting configuration onto the on-board memory. 4. Click save, and then apply. Make sure you do this or it will not be on-board. The

board backlight should turn for a second, and turn back on. 5. Click the FN + “+” until you find the desired effect you selected.

Want more effects for your Epomaker keyboard? You can make one yourself, or join our Discord that has many created by the awesome community: https://discord.gg/YE8PbqF. Feel free to submit your own, too!

Uploading Lighting “LE” Files Uploading and downloading the files allows you to try other peoples configurations and also send it to other people.

1. Download the LE file you’re going to use. In this case we used Matrix.le created by community member Saiyagene. (Head to the Discord to get more lighting effects).

32

https://discord.gg/YE8PbqF


2. Select the upload button from the LE File Management module.

3. Find the location where you saved your file, and select the file and press open. You should then see the file in the LE File Management Module.

Downloading Lighting “LE” Files Uploading and downloading the files allows you to try other peoples configurations and also send it to other people.

33


1. Press the file you would like to download from the LE File Management Module and

elect the download button as shown above.

2. Enter your desired location and the filename. 3. Click Save. The file will now be saved in that location and can be shared.

Creating Frame Based Lighting Effects These lighting effects will change with time. This gives you the option to change the different colours depending on the time. In this case, we’re going to be turning this purple colour on and off between the different rows. This is a bit more of an advanced feature, so it might take a bit of getting used to.

34


1. Select the “LE Files” Tab. This is the location for editing all your lighting effects.

The frames will be the timing that different layers of effects will happen on the keyboard. The parameter will adjust the length and duration of your lighting effect. So the higher the value is for the parameter, the longer it will take for the keyboard to change the colour. For example, with the breathing effect, the light change will be slower, and for flashing the flash will be slower at higher values.

35


2. We will first start by selecting our first frame, and setting the count. The count is for how

long the colour will stay on the board. We then will select “First Line” as we want the colour to show on the first row.

36


3. We will then select the colour we want to add to that row. In this case, we will be using a

single purple colour. But you can add multiple colours to your liking and layer them.

37


4. If you’re using a single colour, select your colour and then assign that colour to all the

keys. We are going to be using frames to determine when those keys or specific rows turn on and off, but it will be the same colour.

38


5. We create our next frame and then rename it, we want to then select how long the frame

is going to last by using the “count” variable.

6. Select what the next frame is going to do, since we’re going to be lighting up the rows on

the keyboard sequentially, we’re then going to make a new frame, rename it, then select the fourth line, make a new frame, assign it to the fifth line and so on.

39


7. By the end you should have the frames you want, you want to click the tick button to

save the configuration to your lighting file. This can then be used on your keyboard.

40


8. Go back to the configuration file to enable your new lighting effect on your keyboard.

41

Troubleshooting

Frequently Asked Questions This section will answer some general questions that I have seen coming up in support threads and on the Discord. You can contact us via [email protected] if you’re still having issues

I see “Not Support Device”

In this circumstance, there could be a few things to look into to figure out why the computer isn’t detecting the keyboard.

1. Please check that you are plugging the device into a USB-A to USB-C with the given cable. This means that the keyboard DOES NOT directly support USB-C to USB-C connections or other connections such as PS/2. You can overcome this by using a dongle to connect to a Mac, but we can’t ensure that a third party dongle will be supported.

2. If you see this try to reinstall the software, and then restart your computer and reinstall it again.

3. Try another USB-A port on the device, and if possible, try connecting it to another device to try and see if its a computer hardware issue or a problem with the keyboard itself.

4. Please try to use the following version of the software: http://cloudmouse.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/AppData/41/GK6XPlus%20Driver6.0.0.38.exe

59

mailto:[email protected]

http://cloudmouse.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/AppData/41/GK6XPlus%20Driver6.0.0.38.exe

http://cloudmouse.oss-cn-beijing.aliyuncs.com/AppData/41/GK6XPlus%20Driver6.0.0.38.exe


Combination of the FN key + Another key You cannot use the FN key to make combinations with other keys. The keys that are currently available to use as the base key for a combination include but are not limited to: LCtrl, LShift, LAlt, LCtrl + LShift, RCtrl + RAlt and so on. But the software uses the FN key for a bunch of combinations that are pre-defined so it is not available.

My Mac Delete key is not working On MacOS, the “Delete” key is used as the Backspace Key. In this case, you need to make sure that your backspace isn’t binded to the Windows backspace because your Mac will not detect it. We will go through how to make the delete key binded in the Layer 2 “Mac Layer” to fix this.

1. Select Layer 2 for the MacOS layer. Here, you will see that the Command and Option

keys are swapped the right way around by default.

60


1. Select the Apple mode of keyboard from the selection. Here, you should see the familiar

layout for MacOS.

61


2. Select the Delete key in the keyboard, you should see it flashing on the animated keyboard that you binded it.

3. Press Save, Then Apply.

My GK6X Plus Driver is in Chinese

Sometimes, when the driver is launched, it will display in the default language which is Chinese. In this case, we can change it easily by going to the flag in the top right of the software and changing it to English.

I can’t seem to press anything on my MacOS screen Your device possibly has too small of a display or too small of a resolution that results in the software being too zoomed in. In this case, you can try changing your default browser, zooming out or connecting a larger monitor.

My Keyboard is not showing up in my Bluetooth You need to make sure that when you’re pressing for it to pair that you hold down the combinations and make sure they flash a red-green. This means that the device is in pairing mode. It should not just flash the standard “Blue” or it means it's trying to pair to a device it already has previously, or has timed out on trying to connect. You need to make sure the battery is charged using the given cable (Please do not try to charge with USB-C to USB-C. It will NOT work). Moreover, make sure your device is actually wireless - it should either have an “S” at the end of the model or an “XS”.

62


How do I check my battery and what does the indicator mean? You can check your battery using FN + 4. The battery indicator works as follows: Flashing Red = Low battery, the Bluetooth will possibly not work to save power. Green-Yellow = Charging, not at a sufficient level No light = Your battery is at a fine charge or is full.
